From an investor’s perspective, when purchasing a welded pipe production line, the line must be capable of producing pipes of various specifications and dimensions. However, in actual production processes, frequent adjustments or replacements of rollers are often required to achieve this. Traditionally, these adjustments are made manually by experienced operators, which places high demands on the individual skills of the adjustment workers. Even so, it still takes several hours to complete the adjustments or replacements.
Time is money, so NEW VICTOR TUBE MILLS has developed two new technologies to achieve automated adjustment or replacement of rollers, completing what previously took several hours in just a few minutes.
Servo Rollers Position Control System in Tube Mill Machine
Working Principle And Advantages
This technology primarily relies on the collaborative intelligence of Siemens PLC and servo motors. The servo motors continuously record the spatial coordinates of each horizontal roll in real time and store unknown parameters in the PLC. When changing tube specifications, the system automatically retrieves historical data, and the rolls automatically move to the recorded positions, with an error margin of ≤0.03 mm, requiring only minor adjustments.
Compared to manual operation, servo adjustment saves 95% of the time, with each adjustment saving over two hours. Even novices can operate it with ease, addressing the challenge of digitizing the expertise of experienced technicians.

Rollers Quick Change System
Working Principle And Advantages
This smart system can record and save the data of roller position for different sizes and thickness through SV motors and SV control system based on the Profinet or Ether-CAT（Ethernet and Field industrial bus technology）.
When change the production sizes, the Servo motors of this SMART system can realize automatically flexible adjustment of the rollers moving to the right position by choosing the corresponding data recipe saved in the HMI which largely saves the roller adjusting time and the labors’ working intensity and increases the efficiency as well.
Traditional manual roller replacement requires several hours or even a full day of continuous adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now, this roller quick change system can replace rollers in 10 minutes and resume production in 30 minutes.

Conclusion: Give Your Tube Mill Machine “Muscle Memory”
When purchasing equipment, quality is the top priority—it ensures flawless operation of your machine. Second is after-sales service, the foundation for long-term, reliable performance. Beyond that, unique technologies add significant value, such as the two innovations mentioned earlier. These give your machine “muscle memory,” drastically saving time, cutting costs, and lowering the skill requirements for operators.
There are plenty of tube mill machine suppliers that can help you make money, but high-quality manufacturers that enhance your product competitiveness and maximize your return on investment are rare.
